| I’ve been on the wrong back roads
|
| Riding with my head down low
|
| Devil riding shotgun, getting it done
|
| I’ll be good if the good die young
|
| And it’s been a long dark ride
|
| Fizzying the wind inside
|
| You don’t know about what I do or done
|
| I’ll be good if the good die young
|
| I take a shot of whiskey, I take another draw
|
| You hit the bottle with me, man it’s up to y’all
|
| 2pac having the stretchers about a mile long
|
| I plead the fifth with it till I hit my milestone
|
| When I was 14 is when I got my first taste
|
| On my birthday, I need it in the worst way
|
| 10 years later with head low, creeping
|
| Started out, it was only on the weekend
|
| Now is a different day, 7 different tastes
|
| Sometimes I feel I’m getting pulled 11 different ways
|
| I get say my grace, hell, I got bills to pay
|
| I got a show and it don’t matter how I feel today
|
| I’m fast lane gliding in that SN driving
|
| On a plane that’s headed for woods
|
| And they ain’t no running 'cause the good die young
|
| And so you know I’m gonna be all good
|
| I’ve been on the wrong back roads
|
| Riding with my head down low
|
| Devil riding shotgun, getting it done
|
| I’ll be good if the good die young
|
| And it’s been a long dark ride
|
| Fizzying the wind inside
|
| You don’t know about what I do or done
|
| I’ll be good if the good die young
|
| The guy you used to know, you wouldn’t recognize him now
|
| You used to solid ground, me I’ve been up in the cloud
|
| Chasing all the things but mama told me got your number
|
| I’m a ticking time bomb, steady filling up with wonder
|
| 'Bout that life of a bad boy, living like an outlaw
|
| Still it’s just a sad story, I don’t know what happened y’all
|
| I made it through some things that probably shouldn’t, should be dead
|
| I just kick back the bottle and take one to the head
|
| Got a long line of faith on a stained CD case
|
| Give a damn what they say, I’ve been trying to get away
|
| Put the smoke in the wind straight down the highway to hell
|
| I got some hella some friends, keep me from jumping the ridge
|
| I like to take all by myself and do some thinking 'bout my troubles
|
| You know when you get to drinking, how the trouble usually doubles
|
| I’ve been caught up in the middle, man, I’m trying to pick a side
|
| But I rather block it out and just ride
|
| I’ve been on the wrong back roads
|
| Riding with my head down low
|
| Devil riding shotgun, getting it done
|
| I’ll be good if the good die young
|
| And it’s been a long dark ride
|
| Fizzying the wind inside
|
| You don’t know about what I do or done
|
| I’ll be good if the good die young |
